Stormwater Management

What is stormwater?

Human activity is largely responsible for stormwater pollution. Everything that we put on the ground or into the storm drain can end up in our water. Each of us has a responsibility to make sure

these contaminants stay out of our water. Whether we have clean water is up to you. The official definition of stormwater under the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) 

regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:14A is as follows:

'Stormwater' means water resulting from precipitation (including rain and snow) that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to the subsurface, or is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewage or drainage facilities or conveyed by snow removal equipment.



Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

  • The SPPP was last updated on 05/12/2025 and describes how we implement the stormwater program in order to meet the requirements of our NJPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit.
  • Check out the SPPP here Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (PDF)

Watershed Improvement Plan (WIP)

  • The purpose of the WIP is to identify opportunities to improve water quality, reduce MS4 contribution of pollutants to waterbodies with impairments and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDLs), and to address stormwater flooding to protect human health and safety, and the environment.
